Soft-Bricked My D800

A

AC Question

After a few days of running the annoyingly buggy CM11 nightly for the D800, I decided to flash Mahdi. I grabbed the ROM from their website, and being the moron that I am, I wiped and flashed it without first checking if I needed the baseband or anything. It installed successfully (or so it said). I reboot, and BAM. Fastboot mode. At this point, I can't boot into recovery in order to restore a backup, and I can't boot into the system. Fastboot only. I then asked for some help on Reddit's /r/lgg2, and a great user helped me get out of fastboot by flashing several of these partition images. I was so happy when I found out that it no longer went into fastboot when I tried to reboot into system. However, all it does now is stay at the LG boot screen. Download mode says "B100 ROOTED". SuperSport's method doesn't help, nor does any other method I have come across. The LG FlashTool always gives me errors about my device not being a G2, because I think it is recognized as this "B100" model that I've never heard of, even when I use the supposedly universal DLL. I really don't want to have to bring this to an AT&T device center, because they'll probably try to charge me some absurd amount for a fix that takes them 30 seconds. However, I don't want to be stuck using my scratched up S3 that can't hold a charge.

ANY help is appreciated!

Do you have ADB setup to use on your PC? That might help you get back up and running if you can get back into fastboot.

I do have ADB set up, but I'm not sure how to get it to recognize my device from download mode.

I am rather weak with ADB use and commands myself. Have you tried looking for any YouTube videos on it?
